Hi,

Root is now available as fink package (http://fink.sf.net) for Mac OS 
X. It is based on the production release 3.04.02. If you like to use 
it, you have to enable the unstable tree of fink (see 
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable). Please let me 
know if you encounter any problems. If it works well for you, let me 
know, too. Then the root package can move to the stable tree which 
makes it more easy to access.

In order to make the root package conforming to the fink policy, I had 
to enable the versioning of the root libraries. The standard versioning 
implemented in the root makefiles adds the versioning information at 
the end of the libraries, i.e. libCore.so.3.04. On Mac OS X all 
libraries have the version before the extension, i.e. libCore.3.04.so 
(in contrast to Linux where both versions are common). I changed the 
makefiles to produce the latter format and tested them both on Mac OS X 
and Linux RH 7.2. I attach the patch file (against the current CVS 
version) in case that you'll like to incorporate this change into the 
ROOT CVS.

Cheers,
		Remi
